Fantastic post!
If in doubt and members need advice before breaking out bucks to make a 'New to the legion costume' (it's a lengthy, costly and time consuming process) I highly encourage members to contact DL or the LMO. We are always happy to help.

Aye the sithlord detachment to build the costume would be the only other place I can think to have the build thread. But hey we are all 501st legion and all here to help. You've got some great dissection going on. *Fist bump*

Hello to you! Checking in! I think you have come to the right place. I myself started my Kylo Ren build here unknowing as to which detachment would take the costume.
Youve come here and made this board thats a great start, so we can give you some great advice I hope!
Please feel free to build your costume and submit to your GML. How far along are you?
I myself was going to make this costume at one time and had begun a lot of research. If you need any advice as this costume will be a Legion 1st please dont hesitate to shoot me a message or ask any questions.
I myself was going to use a prosthetic. I'm a 35 yr old woman not a older gentleman so I would have needed that.

Howdy howdy, Dawn Bright your helpful LMO here. I am sure a lot of this has already been covered by lovely Nina and a few others.
Yes Sim Aloo has no Detachment Affiliation.
Yes there are talks of creating a home (Detachment) for the Costumes with no CRL. There are a few.. Bazine...Hondo... Sim.. Ithano and thats just off the top of my head.
If you are starting a Sim costume maybe....Sithlords are probably your best bet to get feedback? When I started building Kylo Ren I made WIPS both here and in SLD (sithlords) however but yes SLD took the costume as its movies.
There is no CRL because the costume was made before the rule that a costume could not be approved without a CRL was made. So we have no CRL. If someone applied with one your GML will post it to the appropriate section and will be looked at by the LMO's.
I know (have seen) a build thread at some point on one of those two boards. It should be in the research section. The one builder (The Legion 1st) spent a lot of time and research on his costume.
I hope any of this helps!!

When Im wording it im trying to think how an applicant would find it easiest.
As a person thinking about "making" costumes if I looked up the CRL to see which Aphra Id want to do I would personally want to look up the variant by description and or color.
So using the names of the artists to refer to the costumes would be very confusing to an applicant and a GML when judging or making. Just my two cents.

Making observations (many already addressed) to clear up any confusion some may have. Feel free to agree or disagree. Please provide reference or proof.
1. There are 4 different/varient vest costumes.
2. Two of them are vastly different. From the cap to the holster. (This is ignoring the tattoo issue.) And that's "simple burgundy vest" and "Burgundy lined vest". (Or as noted above Vader comic and standalone)
3. There is no standard set for the tattoos - does someone have written evidence of this? I think we may need it.
4. For the "basic red vest" CRL an optional of red blanket stitched 1 inch apart lines OR a zipper optional can appear? I know it's only in a couple panels but someone could come through and try and have an entirely new crl made for a zipper and I vote we just take care of that now.

As far as the pants go. I wrote Jean because it is just so easy to get stretch jeans. The color of her pants and design always looks Jean colored throughout her costumes. yes her pants are tight fitting. But theres still wrinkles. To me they look like stretch jean?
